Wu Ming-Chu, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who frequently appears on TV programs teaching health care, has become a target of many scammers in recent years due to her high social fame, selling mostly unknown products from mainland China.
Scam groups, using Wu Ming-Chu’s name, set up several fake fan pages on Facebook, endlessly rolling out cheap Facebook scam ads vigorously promoting illegal navel patches, cassia seed chrysanthemum tea, fleece-flower-root hair-growth soap, shampoo, and other products.
Under these fake Facebook ads used for scams, when netizens leave comments asking for the real address, contact phone number, and other information, the scam admins will even directly give the real information of the TCM clinic, and “kindly” remind netizens to beware of being scammed (as shown below), holding a mentality of opportunistic muddling — as long as they fool one person, it’s a profit.

How to Identify Real vs. Fake Wu Ming-Chu TCM Ads?
If you see these one-page website Facebook ads and feel confused, wanting to identify whether they’re real or fake, the method is actually very simple — one sentence: “All the ads are fake.”
Wu Ming-Chu herself has issued a statement saying that Dr. Wu Ming-Chu and the Wu Ming-Chu TCM Clinic have never sold any products of unknown origin on Facebook (FB), Yahoo, Google, or any website.
Compilation of Fake Wu Ming-Chu Fan Page Names
Because this author’s hands itched for a moment and left a comment under one fake fan page ad, I was immediately bombarded by a bunch of fake fan page ads. So I conveniently compiled and recorded their names — let’s look together at the creativity of these scams.
- Wu Ming-Chu Minshengtang TCM Practitioner
- Wu Ming-Chu Chief TCM Practitioner
- Wu Ming-Chu Wellness TCM Practitioner
- Wu Ming-Chu Minshengtang TCM Practitioner
- Minshengtang Dr. Wu
- Wu Ming-Chu TCM Clinic - Taipei
- Wu Ming-Chu National Medicine TCM Practitioner
Please refer to the image below. Looking closely at the disclosure information of some fake fan pages, besides knowing they’re all newly created or renamed pages, I further found that the countries and regions where the administrators are located could almost form their own United Nations.
Besides developed countries like Canada and the United States, there are also Argentina, Pakistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Colombia, and so on, making this author suspect they might be a transnational scam group.

Even the Patent Certificate on One-Page Websites Is Fake
In the sales copy of one-page websites, they even attach a Republic of China patent certificate for the product (see the image below) to boost consumers’ confidence in buying.
Forged Republic of China patent certificate of a fake Wu Ming-Chu fan page
However, according to the certificate’s invention number “I568474,” searching the Intellectual Property Office of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Republic of China yields an invention patent for “A method for detecting the lubrication state of a treadmill belt and running board.”
A Chinese medicine hair-growth soap and a treadmill’s lubrication method are completely unrelated operations.
In other words, the scam group even forged the patent certificate, considering even the details so thoroughly — no wonder domestic people are often deceived.
Come on, repeat after the admin once: “All one-page website ads are fake.”
